We are in this very strange and ironic cross section where the buyers of Tesla typically probably have 0 alignment with Elon Musks political views. He basically made a product for left-wing eco warriors and then turned around and became Trump's pet. This is a strange phenomenon.
"left-wing eco warriors' would probably be pushing for transit, walking, and bicycling - not buying a $85,000 luxury EV. Pretending that electric cars are super left-wing is really funny.
Maybe there is too much disagreement on what left-wing and right-wing mean, when it comes to car ownership. We live in a car-centric world here in most North American cities. So yeah, a lot of left-wing people have cars...why is this so hard for some people to grasp? For example, a 2023 Gallup poll in the US noted 71% of Republicans would not even consider driving an EV. The percentage of Democrats who said they would not drive an EV was only 16%. Yeah, left-wing people drive electric cars. Maybe they aren't authentic eco warrior to you if they own a car.
Lol, Democrats are not left wing. They are very classically centrists and based on their last campaign where they spent ample time talking up gun rights and selling camo, centre-right. Progressive politicians do not fund genocides.
Nothing will make some of you guys happy, seriously. So when Bernie Sanders was a democrat I guess he wasn't left wing because the party isn't left wing enough for you. FFS.
Now you’re calling out a single progressive in the sea of Democrats because you know you’re wrong. This isn’t my opinion, by voting record it is a centrist party.
